Since posting this image, Twitter has been a buzz over Jared Lee Loughner being a registered Republican, and linking to this post on our blog.

Over at Democratic Underground, a user by the name Barack_America points out that using the Arizona SoS website requires either a Drivers Licence, Date of Birth, or Voter ID number to obtain party affiliation.

According to the Arizona Daily Star: Loughner registered to vote for the first time in 2006, said Chris Roads, Pima County’s registrar of voters. He registered as an independent and last voted in the 2008 general election.

This was exactly the left needed to prove their Tea Party allegations and to deflect some heat from any association with Jared Lee Loughner – their Smoking gun? Loughner was a registered Republican in Pima County. Let the Tea Party comparisons continue, ad nauseam.

UPDATE Jan 9, 2011 - 23:15 WST: Since this was posted some debate has emerged how legitimate this claim is – over at democraticunderground.com one user links up this article and mentions Solid Principles ”got the image from the ‘left’, but don’t elaborate where they got it.”. The answer is we obtained from tumblr account via a post on Twitter – we added the above commentary and that’s all we did.

This same user at democraticunderground.com adds: ”I went to the Arizona Secretary of State site and tried to perform the search myself. Turns out you need to know BOTH Loughner’s birthdate AND either his voter registration ID or driver’s license number to get the information. Considering I don’t know how anyone would have gotten this, I find this entire claim to be suspect”.

Thank you user Barack_America at democraticunderground.com, and to answer your question “Why would a conservative website be promoting this?” – we find it important to follow a story, and posting this element is all part of following the story. I too share your skepticism over it’s origins.

Im sure the family of the 9 year old feels better at you causing all the hard feelings. All his friends said he is left wing liberal and you believe just because he registered he is republican. Grow up. This is the type stuff that causes all the bad feelings.

I think you might be missing the point or have misunderstood the theme of this blog. The left have taken a square peg and tried to fit it into a round hole with this Arizona shooting. They are trying to use this snippet as the smoking gun to prove their Jared Lee Loughner has tea party connections. Jared Lee Loughner is as far removed from the Tea Party, but it won’t stop those that will use this as flimsy evidence to support their flawed argument.

Do you have any proof that this isn’t photoshopped? I went to look it up for myself and the Arizona SoS requires you to put down a person’s voter ID or driver’s license number to get the information-something your average Joe isn’t going to have access to.

I think you need to look at the theme of our blog a little more before you start using the term Moron. Have a read over our article Dilettantes Run Rampant Over Shooting before you stuck your foot in your own mouth chump.

Just a quick note of reason. First, wouldn’t a left wing nut most likely target a right wing politician? And second, most liberals and leftists I know, especially the ‘far left wing nuts’ are not anarchists. They are pro-government, and are in no way ‘gold bugs’ and ‘currency fanatics’, unlike libertarians, anarchists, and yes, Tea Partiers.

Anti-Government views, dislikes the fact that we’ve not returned to the Gold Standard, severely dislikes “illiterates” whom don’t understand nor speak the English language, rails about how College professors and Colleges are unconstitutional and that his first amendment rights were being taken away. Has possible links to a White Nationalistic movement, and so on and so on.

But look at all the time, expense, vitriol, and continuing clammer based on a certain “Birth Certificate” offered by the conservatives who attempted to claim the current POTUS was not a U.S. citizen from birth. I have my Kenyan Birth Certificate that looks quite a bit like POTUS Obama’s and you can have one made up for yourself, too.

Old friends label him a leftist pothead back in 2007 who wore anti-Bush t-shirts to high school.

In 2007 he had contact with Gabby and told friends she was stupid and unintelligent. He appears to have carried some kind of anger over the 2007 meeting since the Sheriff office reported finding a ‘thank you for attending’ the 2007 event letter from Gabby in Loughner room, after 3+ years.

So what is he? A Paranoid Schizophrenic fits far better than Liberal or Conservative.

Nice try with the Republican affiliation claim, the Photoshop work is marginal.

Jared Loughner’s actual voting record shows he voted in 2008 for Cynthia McKinney.

Who is Cynthia McKinney?

She is an ultra liberal black Democrat.

Her profile included support for Arab causes and a suggestion that Bush knew in advance of the September 11 attacks.

She advocated unsealing records pertaining to the CIA’s role in assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the murder of Tupac Shakur

She supported anti-war legislation and introduced articles of impeachment against President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.

She found herself in the national spotlight again over the March 29, 2006, Capitol Hill police incident, where she pushed a rookie Capitol Hill Police officer for stopping her to ask for identification.

McKinney claimed the events as an example of racial profiling by police officers, but found virtually no support from either her own party or civil rights leaders.

I’m certain liberals don’t target democratic representatives. Has Beck uninformed us so much? Do we’d actually believe democratic presidents are now both socialist and fascist?

He posted on Dailykos he was mad at Gifford for voting against Pelosi as speaker of the house after all the support he had given her. Liberals target with death threats innocent people like Palin …see her twitter page if you doubt me.. and Bristol. All Bristol did was go on DWTS and be Palin’s daughter and was winning, what ensued, death threats, smears, hate messages… Now what conservative does that? NONE. Not even Palin. This Loughner guy, with his insane rantings on twitter definitely appears to be hate filled liberal, except he was mad at grammar and Gifford. You liberals own this guy, he appears to be just as crazy as you.
